Quiet, clean and very comfy. Stood for 15-20 min to check in before another lady asked the guy standing outside if he worked there- he said he didn’t even know we were in there - after checking, everything was ok… would stay here again.

Room was clean when we walked in, the staff was just as friendly as before when we stayed there the first time, the owner personally came up and talked to us and that’s something that you don’t get to have that often at some hotels, perfect view of the northern lights the first night too. The best part is that we didn’t have to worry about taking a Lyft everywhere, we got to take the bus. Definitely going to be staying here again, there’s so much stuff to do in area.

Nostalgic stay next to easy nature trail

Loved the nostalgic setting with sufficient updates for modern convenience and comfort. Having the nature trail just outside the door was also wonderful. I was even able to easily extend my stay on short notice.
